One of Ghana’s rising boxing stars, Jonathan ‘WorldWide’ Tetteh, impressed fans both in and out of the ring after defeating Freezy MacBones by points on Saturday at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The win extends Tetteh’s professional record to 11 victories, including 10 knockouts.
After the fight, Tetteh moved confidently among his fans, celebrating and showing the self-assurance that has become his trademark.
The fight carried extra significance as the two had previously competed for a spot on Ghana’s national boxing team, the Black Bombers. Earlier this year, McBones had refused to face Tetteh when asked by then-GBA president Abraham Kotei Neequaye, adding tension to their latest clash.
Saturday’s event also featured an exciting performance from featherweight John Laryea, who defeated Holy Dorgbetor in the seventh round to claim the IBF Continental Africa featherweight title. The victory takes Laryea’s record to 14 wins and one draw, making him a two-time featherweight champion.
The match was intense from the start, with emotions running high. The tension rose further in the fourth round when McBones appeared to bite Tetteh. Despite the incident, Tetteh stayed focused and did enough to secure the win.
The boxing night was part of ongoing efforts to grow the sport in Ghana, giving local boxers a chance to perform on a big stage and providing fans with top-quality entertainment.
Legacy Rise Sports partnered Match Room to produce a historic night of boxing at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon on Saturday, December 2025.
Although there were many brilliant performances, the fight of the night was a grudge match between two former sparring partners from South London, Daan Azee and Craig Richards.
In the end, Craig Richards secured a 12th-round knockout over Dan Azeez to take the vacant IBF International light heavyweight title.
It was a close fight between former sparring partners Richards (20-4-1, 13 KOs) and Azeez (22-3-1, 14 KOs) in the early rounds, but Richards ultimately prevailed.
Light heavyweight Jonathan Tetteh, widely known as ‘Worldwide,’ secured a points decision win over Freezy Macbones (11-0, 10 KOs), extending his record to 11 victories, including 10 knockouts.
The two had previously fought for a single Olympic spot in Ghana’s national boxing team, the Black Bombers, adding extra excitement to the matchup. Earlier this year, McBones notably refused to face Tetteh when prompted by then-GBA president Abraham Kotei Neequaye.
The bout was tense from the start, and the drama heightened when McBones appeared to bite Tetteh in the fourth round.
Although he regained his composure, McBones was unable to prevent Tetteh from emerging victorious.
The highlight of the night came from the talented featherweight John Laryea and Holy Dorgbetor.
Laryea combined strength with excellent technical skill to defeat Dorgbetor in the seventh round, claiming the IBF Continental Africa featherweight title.
The win improves Laryea’s record to 14 victories and one draw.
Saturday’s result also makes Laryea a two-time featherweight champion.
